I am now faced with perhaps, one of the most challenging tasks thus far this year. How am I going to pose an engaging problem that teaches the concept of factors and prime and composite numbers? I know that I want to have students see how these are connected, but how? Teaching through problem solving has students construct their own knowledge and understandings, having them invent their own strategies. As a teacher I am to pose a problem and in letting them work through this fairly independently, they will come to see these connections and learn the intended concepts. I decide I will sleep on this and see if osmosis allows me to see how in the world I am going to do this.
